THE SHORTS COVERING There Was Little Commis sion Business—London r, Moderate Buyer. By Private Leased Wire. New York, Aug. 14.—Both In London and In tho early dealings here, the movement of American shares was ex tremely Irregular. The good feeling occasioned by yesterday’s gold Import announcement was not wholly lost, nor were there any developments Jn the money situation today to • warrant i less cheerful view being taken In spec ulative quarters. Sterling: exchange hung close to yesterday’s low' level, and the cash gain of banks at the sub»< treasury on the week was maintained. The uncertainty on the stock exchange seemed wholly due to superficial con dition of the market's own position, much doubt being felt whether, In view of the narrow Interest in the trading prices for many of the leading Issues, had not gone ahead too rapidly. This apparently was the feeling among the majority of active t r *der* this morn ing, and It was encouraged by signs of large realising sales In Southern Pa cific, Union Pacific, St. Paul and one or two other recent popular Issues. These stocks were decidedly heavy during the morning, and further weak ness, for obvious reasons, appeared In Brooklyn Rapid Transit. On the oth er hand, a number of specialties were bid up again, and many of the regular Hat which have had less rise than the leaders held firmly at yesterday's prices.
